Chapter 170: What does Hong Yu want? (R-13)

R-13 (The following scenes contain homophobia and require caution when reading for triggering triggers)

Hong Yu found it very easy to play with the feelings of humans, feeling less and less human every time the power of Greed went to his head. Feeling human feelings was much easier, meaning he could read situations and achieve things others craved.

However, this made Hong Yu much more vulnerable to Greed's control, but it was addictive and made his life easier in many ways. Promotions within the sect, friendships, business relationships, and responsibilities emerged thanks to this power to read the feelings of humans.

It was very easy to capture Sun Jie's jealous emotion and put some of his power into it to get her out of control to the point where she became an issue.

"What good is this cut sleeve? Tsk, people like him should be more discreet so as not to embarrass the rest of us in front of others"josei

Sun Jie said in a scathing tone, she didn't look like a well-bred young noble lady, but a poor woman who liked to fight in the street with others.

Shou Zuo looked at Sun Jie with indifference, it's not like he didn't know what many thought about him because of his feminine features and with some delicate actions, but he didn't think he should change his ways for others.

On the contrary, he thought that being himself was good to see if others would be honest with him. Shou Zuo thought that only being honest with himself would he have real friends, besides, he was well aware that many would not like him and he was okay with that.

"I just feel like a talentless person like you should keep silent, it looks like you're just jealous," Wen Jie said with some ferocity. His scarred face looked even more frightening with the teenager's angry look.

Sun Jie was scared and that irritated Ji Huo a little, who had that young nobleman in high regard and of course wanting little favor points from her, she came forward even shaking a little scared.

"What do you want to do? Will you become violent? Do you dare to be violent in front of every sect?"

She spoke in a loud tone making many looks at them, Wen Jie's body was bigger than most teenagers and he had that ugly red scar on his face which made him very menacing.

The sunburned skin and rude attitude caused sympathy on the part of the others for Ji Huo and Sun Jie who were two delicate and light-skinned teenagers, besides they looked like they came from a good family.

Lee Fu boldly positioned himself in front of the girls, making Wen Jie snort, but Shou Zuo grabbed his arm.

Yun San seeing the mess he just wanted to hit these newbies a little bit who only seemed to mess up where they are, but seeing that they were Quian Dalai's friends, he kept calm and waited for Qi Meiying to try to calm the situation.

Qi Meiying was going to solve the problem when suddenly Sun Jie took an item from the inner pocket of the long sleeves he was wearing, it was a well-known attack item in the sect as it circulated a lot in the mortal world and was sometimes useful for combating little demonic beasts at the beginning of cultivation.

Sphere of Shock, as the item's name already represents the usefulness of the item itself, causing unconsciousness and for martial cultivators of level Qi Realms, it could damage the chakras which would delay initial cultivation.

Qi Meiying was preparing to protect Wen Jie, but Hong Yu had arrived first, she hadn't even felt his presence, which revealed that her sect fellow had reached a higher level of cultivation than she had.

Hong Yu holds Sun Jie's hand who was angry at first at being stopped by a stranger, when she finally saw the boy's face she turned pale when she saw the Core cultivator holding her wrist.

She was really in trouble now.

Sun Jie blinked her eyes a few times with some tears, she didn't remember picking up the Shock Sphere. She would have thought it a waste to throw this at Wen Jie, as it served to protect her from someone of Aurore Core Realms level, which could have been of great help in other circumstances.

Playing on a poor disciple was a waste of resources!

Yet here she was about to waste an expensive item if she hadn't been stopped by Hong Yu.

"Let's calm down, we are all sect colleagues now. We must leave the secular world behind along with these foolish and lowly feelings"

Hong Yu spoke seriously, but the gentle voice was enough to make others feel touched by his sincerity.

Of course, if it were someone else talking a lot they would just secretly scoff at the pedantic and superior attitude of that Core Disciple, who was putting pressure on the new disciples just by his presence.

People who talk about feelings as nonsense and berate mortals are generally the most arrogant and cause the most discomfort among people.

Yun San himself saw Hong Yu's attitude as arrogance and a way of keeping newcomers under his control, with a false appearance of kindness.

However, as it is Hong Yu, everyone thought it was right for him to speak those words, of course, Shou Zuo increased the vigilance in his heart, not letting himself be fooled by those kind and honorable words.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong, but somehow Shou Zuo felt very sick and a little nauseous as if he had stepped off a ship and stepped ashore after many months at sea.

"I'm sorry, big brother Huo" Sun Jie immediately apologizes and feels embarrassed with everyone looking at her. Quickly hiding the item back in the inner sleeve pocket.

"Just be careful not to end up doing something you regret. You're young and you still have a lot to learn." Hong Yu said even more softly to Sun Jie who blushed briefly at the attention of a handsome man.

A young woman like Sun Jie would never get tired of getting attention from handsome men, which was a shame her fiance didn't mind too much.

However, this caused a bit of envy in Lee Fu and jealousy in Ji Huo, but no one paid any attention to them at the time. They felt they had done a lot to defend Sun Jie and were braver than she, but only the young woman received Hong Yu's attention.

They also wanted to get the attention of a Core Disciple and form connections with superior people, their ambition and greed slowly began to grow.

An evil seed was planted in their hearts that in the future without the care and proper guidance of a master could be a knot in their hearts in martial cultivation.

But, of course, they are too young to realize it.
